I see they offer only a 1 year warranty. They say they can provide "some" replacement parts. Who ever heard of them, and will anybody know where they are in a few years when you need some parts? Why not stick to a major brand.?

How much has the project cost so far? What percent of that is $200 for a good faucet? Probably a very small one. Why skimp on the one item you will use many times a day? Leave out one other item in the project and you will have enough for the faucet.

I guess I wasn't clear. I do not mind paying $200 for a good faucet. It is paying $400+; that is too much for my budget. It is just finding a style and color that go with the kitchen. My budget not only includes the kitchen, but the family room, the master br, and laying flooring down through out a good portion of the house. And I am just plain running out of the green stuff.

I have a new sink that I need to punch a hole for the faucet and I want to make sure that the design I get is what I want and that it is a replaceable design if I decide to upgrade in the future. I just don't want to buy junk just to have it... I guess that makes sense, at least in my mind...

Make the decision if you want a single handle, spread handle, and then have the holes bored in the counter. For a single faucet, they usually seem to all take the same sized hole. Check this out over a few different brands of the same style you're interested in and go for it. Makes it easier to upgrade later. My unprofessional opinion.
